Know which technician is carrying the workshop.

Hours clocked come from technicians clocking on and off jobs, on the Board or in the app. Hours sold come from the labour lines on jobs you have completed. Both are things your team already does, so there are no timesheets to chase and nothing extra to fill in.

Most workshops sit between 60 and 90 per cent, and the useful signal is the trend and the gap between technicians rather than the absolute figure. Autera colours anything at 85 per cent or above green, 60 to 85 amber, and below 60 red, so you can read the week at a glance.

It reads the parts lines on invoices you have actually been paid for, so it reflects billed reality rather than intention, and it shows parts billed, parts cost and the margin between them before VAT. It also flags any part line that went out with no markup at all, which is the quietest way a workshop loses money.

One email at a time you choose: yesterday’s jobs booked in, jobs completed and money taken with the labour and parts split, this morning’s queue including anything waiting on customer approval or parts, cars in the workshop seven days or more, unpaid invoices, and how each technician performed. Days with nothing to report send nothing.

Yes. Reports respect the site you have selected, so a group can read one branch at a time or the whole business, and per-site staff only ever see the sites they have been granted.

The analytics dashboard is on every plan including the free Solo plan. Technician productivity depends on time tracking, which is part of the Workshop plan at £79 a month. The daily manager report is available on every plan.
